MYSTERY STORIES

Where Are You, Writers?

I follow, but it appears you’re under wraps, much like me

For several weeks, I’ve noticed that when I open the Medium app to check my morning feed, there’s precious little of interest to read, or even skim. For me.

Also, I’m seeing articles promoted in publications I’ve stopped following. One, in particular, has been showing up on the reg. Instead of my posse, I’m seeing stories from relatively new writers, which isn’t necessarily bad, but where are the scribes I follow?

I’m happy to check out new folks on the platform, but not at the expense of missing thoughtful and compelling stories from those wordsmiths who I find to be smart, engaging, and wicked-funny.

So, where are you, guys?

Where are you Celtic Chameleon, Helen Cassidy Page, Estacious(Charles White), Dawn Bevier, Kathryn Dillon, Greg Prince, Don Feazelle and so many of you other fine writers who I’ve enjoyed over the years?

I’m not suggesting that you’re not here per se, or that you’re “playing hard to get.” (That never works, anyway.)

Perhaps, like me, you’re not publishing as many stories here as in the past. I understand if that’s…
